Meet the people and visit the French wine regions that create the blends of the world’s most famous wines
Join me on the less-traveled roads of French wine routes to meet winemakers in an intimate setting; to see them create; to taste the literal fruits of their labor; and to unveil the stories behind the wine in your glass.
This is an opportunity to create your own unique, memorable, (and delicious) experience that will enrich your life’s palette.
About Kristin
For the last 15 years, it has been my honor to share the stories of family-owned French wineries.
Before moving to Burgundy, France, in 2021, I spent eight years importing French wines into my home state of Minnesota, which was an avenue for creating a connection to the winemaker .
Since arriving in Burgundy, harvesting grapes in the vineyards and spending time ‘à table’ with artisans of the region has taught me the value of the authentic experience and propelled me to create Zéphyr Excursions. Translating these experiences with a now-local perspective provides access to others to enjoy the magic of the French wine culture.
My passion for this culture is rooted in my family’s French heritage, with an especially close connection with my Grand-mère (Marie-Madeleine Zéphyr) who grew up in Reims, Champagne during WWI and WWII and who instilled resilience, passion and soul within me - all features reflected in the vines, the wines, and the people that make up French wine country.
